Adding social media links to my website? WordPress

• SOLVED

Hello everyone!

I run a website that reviews music for unsigned artists. We would like to make a modification to our theme that would add social icons to a review if the band has a social website. To clarify this more, when we write a review we would like for there to be a box that says Facebook, if we enter the bands facebook link into that box it would then display a facebook icon on the review. If no link is entered then no icon would be displayed.

Would one of you guys be able to tell me what i would need to do to make this happen or be interested in actually making the modification for me for a price?

In the picture attached, the red outlined box is where we would like the icons to show up.

If i did not explain this in the detail that you guys need please let me know and I can add more information to this post.

You can add a custom metabox and store that fields in a custom post meta, then get the post meta and shows only if you get no empty values

Find that spot in the PHP code for the theme and add this code in there:


global $post;

if( $fb_site = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_facebook_site', true) ) {
echo sprintf('<a href="%s"><img src="/images/facebook_icon.png" /></a>', $fb_site);
}


The, on each review page (in the dashboard), add a custom field called '_facebook_site' with the full http:// address of the site.

Job (almost) done. (You need to find a graphic and put the url of that graphic in the img src in the code above.
